Egyptian ladies in Qatar hosted the monthly event of the International Ladies Pot Luck Group (ILPG), introducing and celebrating the cultural heritage of Egypt at Al Jazi Garden 4 recently. The chief organisers were Amany Eid-Garcia and Madiha Khater-Szewc.
During the ILPG meetings, members take turns to showcase their countries through a brief presentation, authentic food, traditional shows and a display of handicrafts.
Over 100 guests were entertained with a fabulous Tanoura dance by Ahmed Shabaan and a musical performance by Nour El Din and Rashid.
After partaking of a sumptuous buffet of delicious home-made dishes provided by several Egyptian ladies and Egyptian chef Ali from Mercure Grand Hotel, the ladies got into the spirit of the occasion by dancing to traditional Egyptian music. The customary raffle completed the day, with the main prize being a voucher for outside catering for eight persons from Mercure Grand hotel. Queens Dental Centre, Intercontinental Hotel, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Wyndham Hotel and Cheong Keewa Restaurant contributed the prizes for the raffle.
